Yeah, but most of those bubble years Iowa wasn't a threat to make it to the Sweet 16 even if they got in. They would have had a 12/11/10 seed and been prison rape material against a #1 or #2 seed in the second round at best.There were a lot of bubble years where you could single out a single loss that knocked them out (in hindsight). I don't even really see this as a big game honestly, itd be nice to win though.
I liked how we matched up with them the last time. Joe/CJ combined for 36 but only made three 3's, and they held Dosunmo in check.
The other side of that is there are zero great teams this year. So seeding matters less. I’m a bit torn in that I think rest will be good, but I also think it’s more important for joe to get right. If joe’s right they go deep in the big ten.Yeah, but most of those bubble years Iowa wasn't a threat to make it to the Sweet 16 even if they got in.

This year winning this game and getting that double bye and even winning at least 1 game could be the difference between playing a mid or low major in the first round and maybe a #4 or #5 seed (or a double digit seed if there is an upset) to get to the Sweet 16 and having to play a dangerous Power 6 team and a #2 or #3 seed to get to the Sweet 16.
I think Iowa's a 6 right now.Iowa is a 5.
LolFWIW, Shelby Mast has been pretty solid over the years and he believes a 3 seed is still in play for Iowa (win out). He said a win at Illinois and loss in the title game should be good enough for a 4.
That's lower than I figured. VKS!!!Illinois favored by 3.5.
Minnesota will beat IllinoisIf Iowa does win, they pretty much have to play Illinois again the next game, correct?
Ohio State would be the 5 if they upset MSU.If Iowa does win, they pretty much have to play Illinois again the next game, correct?
If Iowa loses, they likely play Minnesota and then Illinois, correct?Ohio State would be the 5 if they upset MSU.
Likely, yes. But don't count out NW beating Minny on Wednesday.If Iowa loses, they likely play Minnesota and then Illinois, correct?
Unless OSU wins. Then Iowa would be a 6(if Iowa loses)If Iowa loses, they likely play Minnesota and then Illinois, correct?

Updated seeding scenarios:
I thought Iowa owned all tiebreakers.Unless OSU wins. Then Iowa would be a 6(if Iowa loses)
If Iowa loses and OSU wins, they aren't tied. OSU is a game ahead so they finish 5th. Iowa wins the tiebreaker for 6th.I thought Iowa owned all tiebreakers.
It looks / feels like Michigan State isn't losing this game.If Iowa loses and OSU wins, they aren't tied. OSU is a game ahead so they finish 5th. Iowa wins the tiebreaker for 6th.
